This table runner can be made with any DMC remains you have lying around. It is embroidered on linen canvas (8 threads/cm) with contour stitches.
Dimensions approx. 22 x 130 cm.
First, the canvas is divided into 2 x 12 fields with 3 threads as spaces.
Then, the threads are divided into yellow-green and blue-green shades.
Begin by making a random “path” using a golden thread. The path is made using contour stitches.
After this, the DMC remains are distributed in the 24 fields. Start with the yellow-green fields.
Small tablecloth, approx. size 55 x 55 cm. Made with whole and half cross stitches on linen (8 threads/cm). Thread used: flora-cotton No. 105 from fru zippe.

One of the fallen leaves of autumn. DMC Pearl Cotton and remnants of flora-cotton thread. Embroidered on 8 threaded linen canvas, finished size 30 x 30 cm.

The background is embroidered with 5 remnants of flora-cotton. Use whatever colors you like.
Flowers picked from two bouquets have been the starting point for this tablecloth’s fantasy flowers. Finished size 65 x 40 cm. Embroidered on 8 threaded linen canvas.
The flowers are drawn directly on the fabric, and the outline is embroidered with 2 threads in the needle. It is embroidered with flora-cotton from fru zippe.
The structure of the flowers emerges when embroidering with 1 thread in the needle with whole and half cross stitches. That is, each flower is embroidered with just one color.
